Do you find that the rails don’t fully sit in your stands due to the angle? I was a bit unsure at first, but then I thought if the load is usually focused on a tiny pinch weld the contact area can’t matter too much..?

you need flat pad axle stands rather than recessed like that once you have the jacking rails as that way you're not hitting the seam like you currently are. or if you're brave rotate axle stands through 90 degrees :)

Would have been good entertainment if you could have waited until tomorrow at Howden to shred the pzeros :D
